My pc always crashes while playing games like marvel rivals and occasionally Fortnite, but has no problem handling valorant. Sometimes while it crashes, fans (not sure where) go max speed for some reason. I read on Reddit that this daisy chained gpu cable was causing the problem and that you should get another gpu cable. The only problem is, connecting the wrong cables to the psu is really dangerous and I don’t want to break my pc. What should I do?
I have a 7600xt and 7600x combo
Could someone tell me how I could get another cable?
gentle plover
i can tell you right now that cable is not the problem
a 7600xt would not draw enough power for that to be an issue
green glacier
I don’t think it’s about the power draw
Not sure how reputable this dude is but they were warning about this type of cable
A lot of people said that switching to two cables and also going single rail mode helped them resolve this issue
gentle plover
that may be, but it is entirely about power draw. the 7600xt has a 190w TDP
they probably had a higher power card
the reference 7900xtx has 2 pcie power cables
green glacier
The picture?

This?
gentle plover
what?
green glacier
The picture I sent is my 7600xt
gentle plover
yes
i am saying that people who swapped to 2 discrete cables probably had higher power draw cards. the 7900xtx has 2 pcie power connectors just like your 7600xt

Someone said it could be this? What do you think

Ah I understand
gentle plover
what psu do you have?
green glacier
Power spec 650w
gentle plover
check that the cables are fully seated in the gpu
gentle plover
the 2 clips look different. the right one may not be all the way in?
green glacier
I’m gonna play some marvel rivals tmrw to see if repluggimg affected anything
gentle plover
sounds good
green glacier
Bc I could replicate the effect most consistently in ranked
Also my first pc so it could have been a mistake elsewhere
gentle plover
is it a modular or nonmodular psu?
green glacier
Semi modular
Also is consistently holding the power button on the case to close the the pc a possible cause
gentle plover
you hard shut down your pc?
is that because you have to or is that just something that you do
gentle plover
i mean its not ideal but also 99% of power buttons intiate the normal shutdown with a single press
green glacier
Also I have to when my pc freeze crashes

No I hold the power button down until the rgb turns off
gentle plover
i know
green glacier
Oh alr
gentle plover
im saying youd likely be able to press it once like youre turning it on
and it will shut down gracefully
green glacier
Yeah
green glacier
If I did choose to get two separate pcie cables how would I get the right ones for my power supply
gentle plover
youd have to search "powerspec pcie cable"
though i doubt there would be available connectors on the psu
green glacier
So i would just have to replace my power supply?
green glacier
Tried marvel rivals again, and it crashed yet again
I also tried replugging the display port
Didn’t help
Is there somewhere I can check to see what’s causing the crash
gentle plover
Maybe event viewer
green glacier
just disabled expo and it seems to be running ok
havent tried ranked cs i got timed out but that might have been the reason behind the crashes
gentle plover
just disabled expo and it seems to be running ok
What expo ram do you have?
green glacier
Nvm it crashed again on Fortnite
green glacier
What expo ram do you have?
G skill 16gb ddr5
This crash it still was on and had sound but the screen was frozen then the screen cut out, the audio cut out, and the pc eventually just shut off
gentle plover
G skill 16gb ddr5
What speed
green glacier
What speed
I don’t remember 😭
gentle plover
Is that 16 total or 16x2
green glacier
Maybe event viewer
Where do I go
gentle plover
I don’t really know how event viewer works lmao
green glacier
Do I just rebuild my pc
I might have done something wrong
Should I bring it to microcenter and ask them to fix it
do you know any diagnostics software i just try running to find the issue?
turbid lynx
the ram not being installed right will not help
very open looking
and is that a second sick of ram in wrong slot?
green glacier
no i only have one stick
turbid lynx
ok just was very dark just looked like might be stick
turbid lynx
the lock is open its not in fully
green glacier
wait seriously
turbid lynx
see ones to left of it that the locked state
green glacier
That can cause crashes right?
turbid lynx
depending on how bad contact is bumping desk will make system lock up had that on one pc once
green glacier
Lowk I don’t think that was causing the crashes
turbid lynx
hay cant be bad idea to fix that
green glacier
The stick was all the way in only the plastic was in the wrong place
green glacier
hay cant be bad idea to fix that
True
I’m so sad bro 😭
Just wanna chill and play games over break
gentle plover
Is it uninstalled wrong?
A2 is usually the preferred slot actually
green glacier
o
gentle plover
Do I just rebuild my pc
I doubt this would do anything, but you could run ddu and reinstall your graphics drivers.
Or reseat the cpu
turbid lynx
a2 and b2 are = unlses doing some going for lasts hz things
green glacier
im pretty sure i plugged stuff wrong onto the motherboard lol maybe that contributes to the crashes?
gentle plover
No way of knowing
A bad cpu mount could cause ram instability on lga style sockets
green glacier
I’m pretty sure I mounted it correctly but I’ll check
